Harriman Utility Board’s wastewater treatment is getting recognition for its ability to go above and beyond what the plant is designed to do.

The utility is not designed for nutrient removal but is able to do so through some low- to no-cost operational changes, and officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies are taking note.

Tuesday night’s game between Sunbright and the Lady Bobcats looked more like an all-star homerun derby rather than a win or go home district tournament game as between the two teams there were six over the fence dingers with the Lady Tigers defeating OS by a final score of 13-10.

Sunbright jumped out to an early lead as Ashlin Trent was the first to go deep as the Lady Tigers took an 8-1 lead. Oliver Springs struggled defensively as Desirae Davis and Kaitlyn Seeber took turns on the mound.

The Harriman Lady Devils already made history in the semifinal game against Coalfield on Wednesday by ending a 15-year region tournament appearance drought with the 7-5 win. By defeating the Lady Jackets 16-10 in the championship game Thursday night, they also won their first district championship in 15 years.

It was not a perfect game by any means, but the Lady Devils battled through it.
